AKC GAZETTE COLUMNIST

PURPOSE: The AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB GAZETTE columnist is responsible for the Pembroke Welsh Corgi column in the AKC GAZETTE.

TASKS:

1. Ask secretary to send letter to AKC Breed Columns Editor introducing you as the new PWCCA columnist.

2. Contact Editor to obtain publishing schedule and discuss electronic transmission of materials (e-mail works great; just incorporate the column into the body of an e-mail and send).

3. Review content guidelines in file. This is a general interest column about the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, not PWCCA-specific.

4. Limit columns to 500-800 words; check word count with your word processing program.

5. Mention PWCCA National Specialty well in advance of Specialty date. List the Show Chair and contact information in column just before the National.

6. Make arrangements in advance to add the high level winners to the first column after the National--send to editor the Monday after the National! BOB, BOS, BOW, WD, WB, Best in Sweeps, BOS in Sweeps, Best Puppy and High in Trial). The Editor will put in as much as space allows.

7. Remind AKC GAZETTE Editor that you are entitled to a free GAZETTE subscription.

8. Keep a list of column topics to report annually to the PWCCA Board, and to prevent duplication.
